For my personal game, it looks like Bleakwood, as per the AiF box is the choice, with some substantial additions, of course.
Now, NG, especially pre-Wilderlands, did a couple of pretty good modules, no question; they are Greyhawk simulacra, mostly,
but with that nearly universally applicable to any standard setting. Barakus is not even a very good fit for Blackmoor, unless
you have a clear concept in mind, like I have: "The Doom of Listonshire", to the contrary, is a Blackmoor title in all but name,
in case you're interested.
As to WL, while I appreciate that there are still books coming out, I don't see me running a campaign there, any time soon -
mainly for the reason that I shun to do all the translation work into German. Much of the setting's content just sounds crappy
if I translate it verbally.
